I forgot one: really expensive ammo. Timeless Arrows were 1g 60s per stack of 200. That's 80 copper for every single attack. Doesn't sound like much now, but back then it was a serious drain on the bank.

Don't complain too much though, hunters could evade a repairbill most of the time.

Opening the world map -> realising it doesnt show the direction you are facing -> closing it -> facing your character to the north -> opening it again.

for some reason this game me alot of trouble back then

This caught me by surprise. I've never been thinking that this is an issue. If the map rotated I would've been completely lost in the Great Dark Beyond by now D: I wouldn't be able to tell from where I came and where north/south is at all. I tried enabling the rotatable minimap and I just couldn't find anything using that. >_<

Ninja'ing stuff from Scarlet Monastery and selling to vendor for mount. Yeah I did that.
I have plenty of good memories from ZG too.. I won the polymorph tome from the hydra boss you needed to fish up!

tyr's hand was for the crusader enchant right? and people farmed there loads

Start scarlet runs gave at least 2 orbs per run usually much easier to farm it!

Also people talked about relics, pfft I remember when we had no such thing and I used the ghost buster thing that went into the relic slot as a shaman. It was a quest item from desolace I think.

When relics were added I went into BRD to collect mine!

Also sentry totem back when you could use it to float in the air. you would plant it on a cliff jump off and you simply clicked the totem buff icon and you would stop falling and view everything from the totems POV. Great little tool.

Also when far sight was useful for exploration AND in use in battle grounds. Back in the day before the armoury or when the score displayed their rank, and before cross realm BGS. I used farsight to view the other forces before the battle started. In AB you simply far sighted all the way to the gate and I would have to look at their gear on there models. I could at a glance tell who the threats were and our fixed team would then know. I also told our guys who on their team went where at the start, I was hardcore PVP then before I joined a pve guild :P

The Darnassus-Wetlands-Ironforge Marathon. Whether taking your human/dwarf/gnome to Darnassus, or your night elf/draenei to Irongforge, it was always an impressive trek for a low-level character.

Oh please dont remind me of those days, Took me nearly forever to get to IF and then to wetlands on my first char with no mount :P.

OT: Remember when buffs had the "greater" ability and required a symbol of kings? and mounts where at lvl 30 instead of 20. Oh yeah and most importantly Volley! I kinda loved that spell when I first got it :C sadly its gone now
